Detailed analysis of materials and construction
Blade steel – Damascus (hardness 62 HRC):
The blade made of Damascus steel with a high hardness of 62 HRC is the epitome of traditional craftsmanship and modern standards of durability. Damascus is famous for its multilayer structure: dozens of layers of steel soldered together provide increased wear resistance, excellent cutting properties and a unique pattern characteristic of Damascus on the surface of the blade. The hardness of 62 HRC guarantees exceptional sharpness and long-term preservation of the cutting edge, which makes the knife as effective as possible when working with most standard and rigid materials.
Handle material – wenge and black hornbeam:
The wenge and black hornbeam handle is a combination of noble appearance and practicality. Both types of wood are known for their abrasion resistance, moisture resistance and pleasant tactility. Wenge resists deformations and mechanical influences well, black hornbeam adds density and grip reliability.
The guard provides additional protection for the hand, preventing it from slipping onto the cutting edge, which is especially important during power work or in wet conditions.
Dimensions:
The 120 mm long and 2.4 mm thick blade is versatile for most household, hiking and hunting tasks. The handle length, equal to the length of the blade (120 mm), ensures an optimal and ergonomic grip even in a medium or large hand.
Blade Shape – Normal Blade:
The classic shape of the blade (Normal Blade) guarantees versatility: the knife is equally good at cutting, planing and piercing. This makes the Berkut model an excellent choice for hiking, hunting, fishing, as well as active use in the kitchen.
Scope of application and optimal tasks
- Hunting and fishing:It is ideal for cutting and processing game and fish, thanks to its durable cutting edge and comfortable handle.
- Tourism, bushcraft:It is good for woodwork, cutting food, preparing kindling, making pegs.
- Kitchen and household: suitable for cutting meat, vegetables, fruits – Damascus keeps sharpening for a long time, and the geometry of the blade is universal in kitchen tasks.
